Be careful as Employers. I remembering cautioning my clients during this time not to go in this direction..... Following a lawsuit by the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Pensacola store Hank’s Fine Furniture (Hank’s Furniture Inc.) settled for a six-figure sum payout to a former manager fired for refusing a mandatory COVID-19 vaccination. Federal court records indicate a settlement had been reached Monday, and federal Judge M. Casey Rodgers ordered Thursday that the store pay former manager known as “K.M.O.” $110,000 after she denied a companywide COVID vaccine mandate based on religious beliefs. Rodgers also wrote that HFI cannot require proof that an employee’s or applicant’s religious objection to an employer requirement be an official tenet or endorsed teaching of said religious belief. The furniture store must also, within 30 days, adopt, implement and disseminate a written policy to all employees that HFI “will not require any employee to violate sincerely held religious beliefs, including those pertaining to vaccinations, as a condition of his/her employment.”
